My 15 minutes of fame.............

I woke up to a wonderful surprise, a convo from a fellow JET member telling me I was on the FRONT PAGE of ETSY at 5:14 a.m.! Do you know how exciting that is? I have been waiting and waiting hopelessly for one, just one piece of my jewelry to hit the front page! Here is the screenshot, taken by another fellow JET member:

My Selkhet Earrings are on the top left corner!


I'm happy to say these babies sold as SOON as they hit the front page,
but I have a couple more pair of them made up already to ship out!

Oh My Blue Sapphire!

I just LOVE me some Sapphires! I mean I really, really LOVE Sapphires! I would seriously eat them if I could. No, really, I would.

I got this humongous beautiful Sapphire briolette a while back, and I've been waiting for the perfect project to use it up. Well, more like I've been skeered(skeered:scared) to use it(ahem, chicken!). Well I've finally dreamed up the perfect design for it and the other lovely Sapphires I have in my stash, and I'm super excited to get it started! I've taken pictures of the lovely yummies for you to see how gorgeous they are:) I will post about the finished project as well. Have a great weekend all!

Beautiful Blue Sapphires! I'm such a lucky gal :)

How can you NOT want to EAT these??!! I mean seriously! Ugh they are so pretty they make me wanna cry:) Just wait to see what lovely I am making with these beauties! Check back soon to find out.......

The aftermath of Oxizidizing

Now the pretties have taken a ride in my tumbler for several hours, and given one last polish for an extra boost of shine. Now they are ready to be listed on Etsy!

To Oxidize, or not to Oxidize, that is the question!

So I've oxidized my latest creations, lot's of earrings and a bracelet. Well part of the bracelet. My mother and sister HATE when I do this. They like the beauty and blinginess of polished and SILVER silver. Why even use SILVER when you are going to just make it NOT SILVER???

I get it, but it's like a Jekyl and Hyde thing-an OCD thing-a fight with myself on whether or not I should oxidize a piece. There have been quite a few times where I oxidize something and then as SOON as it drops in the oh-so-stinky LOS(liver of sulfur), I'm kicking myself in the a@#. But, the majority of the times I love the end result:) One day, I promise, I will blog about the processes I use creating different pieces. One day:)

But for now, here are some pictures of the pieces after their Liver of Sulfur bath. They are really black and oxidized good.

Then they get tossed into my tumbler for several hours, and then hand polished up nice and perty. By hand polishing them after the oxidization, it let's me really bring out the areas I want to shine and highlight, which is quite cool. Anywho, I'll be posting finished pics hopefully this week:)
